Smoltek Nanotech Holding AB's subsidiary, Smoltek Hydrogen, has developed custom-made prototypes of a cell material that can drastically decrease the amount of iridium in electrolyzers. A major vehicle manufacturer is currently testing these prototypes, showing a keen interest in the innovative technology. The collaboration aims to revolutionize electrolyzer technology by significantly reducing iridium load, making the production of fossil-free hydrogen on a large scale more viable. The cell material, based on Smoltek's patented carbon nanotechnology, has already demonstrated impressive results by reducing iridium levels by 95%, compared to existing materials. The president of Smoltek Hydrogen, Ellinor Ehrnberg, highlighted the importance of this project and the positive reception of the technology in the industry. The unique construction of the prototypes, with carbon nanofibers coated with platinum and iridium, is undergoing rigorous testing by the vehicle manufacturer to ensure it meets their requirements. If successful, this project could lead to further collaboration and pave the way for using fuel cell technology to develop advanced electrolyzers. The company's ultimate goal is to achieve a 95% reduction in iridium load in anode electrodes, significantly enhancing the efficiency of hydrogen production. The promising results from long-term tests indicate that Smoltek's cell material can achieve this milestone, offering a sustainable solution to the iridium problem. The technology's success at the upcoming ECS meeting in San Francisco is anticipated to further propel its adoption in the industry, marking a significant step toward greener hydrogen production.
